I've raised £175000 to help to fund the redevelopment of the Athletics track at Marl Pits Sports Centre in Rossendale to an all weather synthetic surface.

Fundraising group members are Rossendale Harriers and AC, Rossendale Rays, Rossendale Triathlon Club and the Rossendale Leisure Trust.
The track is an important free to use community asset and is well used by several Sports Clubs in the area, the Rossendale Rays who help children with disabilities to ride specially adapted bikes on the track as well as Rossendale schools and the general public. During the recent Covid lockdowns the track was used by more people than ever before despite the present woeful condition of the track surface.A new sythetic, all weather track would ensure that the track could be used safely and more often and not just dependent on good weather.
